Offers valuable alert features
In my experience, everyone is using Azure or solutions from Microsoft. Word, Excel, and Outlook are present for a majority of companies. There is very little on the Google platform for email. The solution's discussion is more about budget and whether you are going to choose the on-premises or the cloud version. Microsoft is huge and a top-three vendor that really only competes with AWS and maybe Oracle. Certain features like scalability really are not relevant because the company's reputation is more than enough. Age in the market and investments in security are more important. You can rest assured that Microsoft has a particular team dedicated to each feature or issue. They are always improving and always delivering. Certain features of the solution will be valuable based on your role. For example, I am part of the security team so threat management is interesting to me. An an engineer or email team might be more interested in policies, configuration, or the administrative exchange. Nothing is perfect but the solution is very good. When you don't have opponents, it is easier to achieve a good rating. I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

A straightforward setup and good reliability with useful security capabilities
This is a cloud-only solution and is always up to date. We're always using the latest deployment of the solution. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. New users need to have a good definition underneath the product so that they are using the solution in the best way for their company.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The email policy configuration options in Microsoft EOP are satisfactory."
"The initial setup is just a standard process."
"In general, my company is happy with Microsoft support...My company hasn't faced any stability issues with the solution."
"I like the product's ZAP feature."
"It's definitely scalable."
"The scalability is pretty good; it does what it is supposed to do."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
 

Cons

"It doesn't protect against everything. We do need protection for, for example, endpoints."
"We would like the solution to have more in-built intelligence in the way that it reviews potential security risks, rather than our team constantly having to update the policies."
"I think the implementation could be more streamlined."
"The biggest issue that I experience is that Microsoft keeps moving things around, and it's very inconsistent as to where you find the information when you're trying to work on different pieces."
"The licensing can be on the expensive side, especially in the cloud space."
"Microsoft has some training portals, but more could be developed."
"They should specify the difference between Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection."
"Our company faces difficulty with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) because it's too big, clunky, and difficult for a small client to implement quickly and easily."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
